Clima East is a European Union funded project package assisting the Eastern Neighbourhood Partnership Countries and Russia in approaches to climate change mitigation and adaptation.

The project builds on the regional EU-funded project ‘Towards a Shared Environmental Information System (SEIS) in the European Neighbourhood’(ENPI-SEIS, €5.7 mil., 2009.12- 2015.03), implemented by the European Environment Agency (EEA). The ENPI-SEIS project supported the environmental and statistical authorities in 16 partner countries both in the East and South European Neighbourhood regions in promoting the SEIS principles. During the implementation of the ENPI-SEIS project, a regional set of eight (8) pilot environmental indicators was developed, produced and shared across the six partner countries in the East region. In 2014, general modalities of cooperation around SEIS and the political commitment to share environmental data was re-confirmed in joint statements (i.e. Letters of Intent, statements resulting from national workshops) between the Governments of Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Armenia and the EEA (similar agreements with Ukraine and Azerbaijan are envisioned during the next phase of cooperation). At a higher political level, the Heads of State and Government confirmed their commitment to SEIS in the Vilnius Eastern Partnership Summit declaration signed in November 2013.
